Groundwater flow modeling using iMOD for Barva and Colima aquifers in the Central Valley of Costa Rica: validation of a conceptual model using tracer data
(Universidad Nacional de Salta, 2018)
A stationary numerical model of groundwater flow was developed using iMOD to better understand the recharge processes within Barva and Colima aquifers (BCS), located in the northwestern region of the Central Valley of Costa ...
Groundwater and surface water connectivity within the recharge area of Guarani aquifer system during El Niño 2014–2016
(Wiley & Sons, 2018)
Recharge areas of the Guarani Aquifer System (GAS) are particularly sensitive and vulnerable
to climate variability; therefore, the understanding of infiltration mechanisms for aquifer recharge and surface run‐off generation ...
Insight into the stable isotopic composition of glacial lakes in a tropical alpine ecosystem: Chirripó, Costa Rica
(Wiley & Sons, 2018)
Tropical high‐elevation lakes are considered sentinels of global climate change. This work characterizes the hydrological conditions of tropical alpine glacial lakes located in the highlands of Chirripó, Costa Rica, using ...
Preface to Stable isotopes in hydrological studies in the tropics: ecohydrological perspectives in a changing climate
(Wiley & Sons, 2019)
Tropical regions (comprised between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, 23.5°N to 23.5°S) cover approximately 36% of the Earth's landmass. They are home to 40% of the world's population, which is
projected to increase ...
On the comparison between diafiltration and isothermal titration calorimetry: Determination of the amount of analytes bound to watersoluble polymers
(Elsevier Ltd, 2019)
Aqueous systems composed of low molecular-weight species (LMWS) and water-soluble polymers (WSP) present
important technological applications. Therefore, continuous advances on characterization techniques are crucial
to ...
Moisture transport and seasonal variations in the stable isotopic composition of rainfall in Central American and Andean Páramo during El Niño conditions (2015–2016)
(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2019)
High‐elevation tropical grassland systems, called Páramo, provide essential ecosystem services such as water storage and supply for surrounding and lowland areas.
Páramo systems are threatened by climate and land use ...
Potent CYP3A4 Inhibitors Derived from Dillapiol and Sesamol
(American Chemical Society 4, 6, 10915–10920 2019, 2019)
Synthesis of 50 analogues of the natural insecticide synergists, dillapiol and sesamol, is reported. These were
evaluated as potential insecticide synergists based on their inhibition of human CYP3A4. The most potent ...
Drug Solubility Enhancement through the Preparation of Multicomponent Organic Materials: Eutectics of Lovastatin with Carboxylic Acids
(MDPI AG, 2019-03)
Lovastatin (LOV) is a drug used to treat hypercholesterolemia. Recent studies have
identified its antioxidant effects and potential use in the treatment of some types of cancer. However,
the low bioavailability related ...
Emerging contaminants in trans-american waters
(Institute for Environmental Research in Hydrographic Basins (IPABHi), 2019)
BSTRACT
Industrial development has made new products available to people to make their lives
easier. Items such as food, cleaning, personal care and health products, among others, are
processed, sold and consumed daily ...
Isolation and Characterization of Nanofibrillar Cellulose from Agave tequilana Weber Bagasse
(Hindawi Limited, 2019)
The bagasse of Agave tequilana Weber is one of the most abundant agroindustrial wastes in the state of Jalisco. However, at the present
time, there is no technical use for this waste, and its high availability makes it ...
